That's true. A couple of the conversations could certainly fall into that category, but a couple others just seemed like someone was really intent on grinding their particular axe.

International affairs don't seem very good either and we are involved in most of the conflicts financially at least. If we can believe the candidate, those conflicts will go different ways depending on the election too.

Most of mine have been in conversations about foreign countries, so it's a little odd to get such testy responses. I also tried to deescalate and indicate that I wasn't interested in fighting, but wasn't taken up on it.

Yep. Maybe it's the election? Things do feel tense.

I'm used to getting some bullshit troll stuff lobbed at me, but two respectable people picked fights with me simply for trying to calm and help them, and then they continued to throw punches even when I did my usual "roll over and show my belly special" which tends to bring ordinary people back from their keyboard rage.
